Middle Schools in Okanogan School District

The Okanogan School District in Washington state has only one middle school, Okanogan Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and has 223 students. While the school has a higher-than-average spending per student of $15,983, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally below the state averages in both English Language Arts and Math.

Okanogan Middle School's student population is diverse, with 53.36% White, 29.6% Hispanic, 7.62% Native American, and 8.52% two or more races. However, the school has a high free and reduced-price lunch rate of 75.34%, indicating a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to the state averages.

Over the past three years, Okanogan Middle School's statewide ranking has declined, from 356 out of 541 Washington middle schools in 2021-2022 to 318 out of 535 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance is not keeping pace with other middle schools in the state. While the school's higher-than-average spending per student suggests that resources are being allocated, more work may be needed to improve student outcomes and address the challenges faced by the school's economically disadvantaged student population.
